I heard about the book...whats its about, really?

Basically it's poking fun at the American commercialisation of the funeral industry. There's this huge funeral park called Whispering Glades for the humans, which tries to make as much money as possible by exploiting "the Waiting Ones" who are mourning the loss of their "Loved One". And there's a similar enterprise called "The Happier Hunting Ground" which tries to be like Whispering Glades, which is for pets!

I started The Broker by John Grisham the other day, borrowing it off my mate's dad of all people! I've never read anything by him and I'd grown a little weary of reading stuff by Robert Ludlum and Dan Brown all the time (literally my last 7 books - about 5 months of reading every night!) and I'm liking what I've read so far. I'd heard good things about John Grisham before but had never really bothered reading any of his books and if they're all like this so far then I may be getting some more from the library

Just started reading my old (well, relatively not so old) books by James Clemens... Wi'tch Fire (although the apostrophe could well be after the 't' in "witch"... I never remember). I honestly cannot remember what the series was about - but I remember thinking that they weren't all that fantastic. I also remember not really reading them properly, so I figure a re-run is in order .
